prologue: ruin me

I am impossible. I am moving through walls and I am screaming and no one can hear me. I am surrounded by humans and I am completely alone. I am Jane Volturi. I am the world's queen; so bow down to me, peasant.

I stare at the vicious stone wall in front of me with hatred. I can feel the Cullens' eyes on my head; I feel them bore into me. I squirm from where I am sat on the floor. My world is in ruins around me, I can see broken bodies and the concentrated stink of fire clings to the air.

I am nothing. I am everything because I survived the apocalypse of the vampire world. They let me go. My body should be scattered around this shattering thrown room with my families. I should not be breathing. I should not be existing.

The head of the Cullen clan steps forward, an unspoken question echoing around the opened room. I wordlessly decline by ignorance. I hear multiple sighs of relief. I know when I am not wanted.

"Jane," Carlisle starts, "You won't understand the human world."

I laugh harshly, dragging my hand through my hair. It's limp around my shoulders. I imagine myself tied up and burning, screaming out, yanking on Alec's hand, my hair matted against my shoulders. I tied it up quickly, because the memory hurts. The betrayal is still there after endless centuries of hatred. "I'm not planning on understanding their stupid ways. I plan on ruling. So, what, they brought down Aro and everyone else. They did not bring me down. I am still alive. I did not burn. Tell me, would you stay down if it meant losing something so dear to you, Carlisle?"

His face twists into an unfortunate expression of confusion. "Of course not." He looks awkward, it's almost pitiful, the way he is so human in such a vampric way. "But, I don't mean to sound rude, what do you still have? Alec is dead."

I want to flinch, but the humanity of the gesture would sting. "I know that, and I am not talking about him. Power, that is what means so much to me. And I plan on ruling the Vampire world." I stand up, turning towards them in a step of defiance. They'll fight me, but I can take them. I have nothing to loose. "And nothing is going to stop me." I smile. And they lunge.


probably shouldn't be doing this, as I have a Vampire Academy that I have only uploaded one chapter to, but I can't help it. i love jane too much. review, please?
